will the same energy be liberated if electron and positron are annihilated in the moving train and on the railway platform
The Special Theory of Relativity is a scientific theory proposed by Albert Einstein in 1905. It is a theory that explains the relationship between space and time, and how they are affected by the speed of an object.
The Special Theory of Relativity deals with objects moving at constant speeds in a straight line, while the General Theory of Relativity includes objects that are accelerating or moving in a curved path.
Time dilation is the phenomenon in which time moves slower for objects moving at high speeds. This is a result of the speed of light being constant, and time and space being relative to the observer's frame of reference.
The Special Theory of Relativity challenges the traditional Newtonian understanding of absolute space and time. It states that the laws of physics are the same for all observers, regardless of their relative motion, and that there is no absolute reference frame in the universe.
The Special Theory of Relativity has led to the development of technologies such as GPS, as it accounts for the time dilation experienced by satellites in orbit. It has also been essential in the development of nuclear energy and particle accelerators.
